The past few years, one of the bigger weaknesses that the Green Bay Packers have had is right in the center of their defense: their inside linebackers. It is a position that league-wide has become a position that gets devalued by plenty of teams, with few willing to spend high draft picks or ...2015-02-21 19:38:032/21: NFL Spin Zone- Green Bay Packers free agent target: LB Bruce Carterhttp://nflspinzone.com/2015/02/21/green-bay-packers-free-agent-target-lb-bruce-carter/
The Green Bay Packers will enter NFL free agency in 2015 with a cautious interest in upgrading a handful of positions before the draft in April. One of the more glaring deficiencies on the Green Bay Packers&#039; roster, the inside linebacker position, should be among the first to be addressed.

The Green Bay Packers have managed their salary cap well under GM Ted Thompson, largely due to his ability to flood the lower half of the roster with draft picks and undrafted free agents. This has allowed the club to dip their toe into free agency when they see fit, which is rarely, but over the ne2015-02-19 09:38:502/15: Lombardi Ave- Green Bay Packers: It's all about defensehttp://lombardiave.com/2015/02/15/green-bay-packers-defense/

Now that the dust has settled fromperhaps the most crushing defeat in Green Bay Packers history, it&#039;s time to start thinking about the offseason.

The Green Bay Packers insist that they are a different football team than the one that fell 36-16 to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 of the NFL season.

The story of the 2013 Green Bay Packers goes a little something like this: Great big offense, itty-bitty defense, at least in terms of the relative contributions to the team&#8217;s 8-7-1 NFC North title winning campaign and ensuing loss in the wild card round to the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau F2014-05-02 12:38:305/1: Lombardi Ave- Jamari Lattimore Signs Tender With Green Bay Packers http://lombardiave.com/2014/05/01/lattimore-signs-tender/

In all honesty, the Packers shouldn&#8217;t even be here. No matter what happens, this game feels like a bonus. A month ago, the Packers were dead. I declared it. I stand by that declaration, too, even if it was wrong. For all intents and purposes, they were done. They had showed nothing that would 2014-01-03 09:36:5211/15: The Packer Perspective- Back to the Big Apple &#8211; Week 11 Previewhttp://packerperspective.com/2013/11/15/back-to-the-big-apple-week-11-preview/
Who&#8217;d have thought we&#8217;d be here? The Packers are hanging on by a thread, their season sustained only by hope in a 26-year old undrafted quarterback who, until last Sunday, had never thrown a pass in a game that mattered. They&#8217;re without their most dynamic receiver, their best tight2013-11-15 09:36:1710/10: Lombardi Ave- Ow! Ow! My Hammy, Coach! Green Bay Packers bitten again by the hamstring bughttp://lombardiave.com/2013/10/10/green-bay-packers-hamstring-injuries-brad-jones/
So theÂ hamstringÂ bug has bitten another Packer. Brad Jones is reportedly going to miss Sunday&#8217;s game against the Baltimore Ravens with a hamstring pull. If my calculations are correct that would mark six different Packers to suffer the same injury before the halfway mark of the season.

&#160; Ted Thompson has done a masterful job of building a title contender year after year. He has evaluated weaknesses, addressed them when he saw fit, and turned said weaknesses into strengths even when it seemed he did not pick up &#8220;first round&#8221; talent. It is understandable if people a2013-10-08 15:35:4410/7: Lombardi Ave- A Close Look at the Packers Linebackers: How Will They Handle the Injuries?http://lombardiave.com/2013/10/07/close-look-packers-linebackers-will-handle-injuries/
The Green Bay Packers defense had their best game of the season in the 22-9 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. However, the Packers suffered a number of key injuries in the game that could really impact their season, specifically at the linebacker position. Not only does the possibility exist tha2013-10-07 22:35:5710/7: Lombardi Ave- Packers Place Robert Francois on IR and Sign James Nixon to 53http://lombardiave.com/2013/10/07/packers-place-robert-francois-ir-sign-james-nixon-53/
